Route 11

Route 1

is a route that connects Cragonos Mines and Aredia City. It is also accessible via the Sky Train that links to Cragonos Peak and Route 10. Well known for being a desert route, a sandstorm constantly rages throughout the area. The deep sand on this route is home to numerous Ground-type Pokémon.

Tomb
There's a tomb on the right side of the route after continuing forward for a bit. Paleontologist Aria is positioned there with stairs near her. Climbing the stairs will lead to a cracked rock blocking the way, which requires Rock Smash to continue.

Cragonos Mines Exit
The Cragonos Mines exit towards this route is located behind the Sky Train Station, where it has red stone that are used as ramps, as well as rails. Hiker Alec is on these ramps, so be wary of an encounter there. This exit leads back to the other side of Lower Cragonos Mines that is blocked by a cracked rock, which requires Rock Smash to go through.

Trainers
Note: Trainers marked with a star symbol (*) are available for rematches.

Trivia

 * This route provides the most trainers available for rematches out of all accessible routes, as 2/3 of them can be battled again.
 * Due to the map layout, most trainer battles can be skipped.
 * Rising Star Darren provides 5 Physical Attack Effort Values when defeated, becoming the replacement of Worker Deven after he vanished from Cragonos Mines. Furthermore, since his team only provides Physical Attack EVs, he is a much better hotspot than Gentleman Nolan back on Route 8.
 * Additionally, he provides more money than Gentleman Nolan (who has his reward reduced by almost half), making him a better choice when it comes to farming for money, which becomes important for Mega Stones.
 * Despite this route being a desert route, the Recreational Teleportation Device receives good signal, probably because of the Sky Train Terminus at the beginning on this route.
 * The deep sand was a lighter colour compared to the normal sand when Route 11 was released. However, it is now a darker colour.
 * The background music is based off the desert on Hoenn Route 111 in the core series games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, as well as their remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
